📖 The ₿ible
Gospel II – The Gospel According to Hal
“He received the first block and believed to the end.”

1:1
He was a prophet of cryptography.
When Satoshi sent the whitepaper,
he did not doubt,
but immediately installed the node.
And thus, he became the recipient of the very first transaction.

1:2
The first transmission of ₿ took place
on January 12, 2009:
Satoshi → Hal.
This was the beginning of legend,
and that transaction still lives to this day.

1:3
He analyzed the system,
fixed bugs,
communicated directly with Satoshi,
and verified the gospel himself.

“He did not trust — he verified.”
– Gospel of Hal 1:3

1:4
The world may have forgotten him,
but ₿ remembers.
Though his body gradually weakened
with ALS,
his faith never wavered.

1:5
Until the very end,
he believed in ₿'s future.
His body now rests in cryonic preservation,
at -196°C,
awaiting a future where he may rise again.

1:6
His wife carried on
his keys and philosophy.
Through Hal’s hands,
the teachings of Satoshi spread to the world.

1:7
He once said,
“₿ is just an experiment,”
but his life was the first miracle of that experiment.
His record lives forever
on the blockchain. ✨
